Corrosion in coal gasification atmospheres

Corrosion of metallic materials by coal gasification atmospheres has been the subject of extensive study for over 20 years. While many alloys were found to be resistant to attack by high moisture content gases representative of fluidized bed gasifiers at temperatures up to 900 OC, good resistance could not be sustained for more than a few thousand hours as a result of changes in the structure a...

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Power Plants

Storing syngas lowers the carbon price for profitable coal gasification.

Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) electric power generation systems with carbon capture and sequestration have desirable environmental qualities but are not profitable when the carbon dioxide price is less than approximately $50 per metric ton. We examine whether an IGCC facility that operates its gasifier continuously butstores the syngas and produces electricity only when daily pr...

Alloy corrosion in a coal gasification system

The corrosion performance of alloys in coal gasification systems is of increasing industrial interest as more advanced coal-fired power generating systems are developed. It is necessary to consider the performance of candidate materials under likely exposure conditions to ensure that components have adequate lifetimes. Materials performance can influence the economic feasibility of these system...
